Steve Holden was asking on the PSF members list (some overlap with here) for other ways to diagram / teach about namespaces in his slides.
This is the slide show he's talking about. http://holdenweb.com/files/PythonIntro.pdf (namespaces = like clouds) After some back and forth, another visual: http://www.flickr.com/photos/17157315@N00/7276024654/in/photostream The namespace is a way objects on the heap get to be "thought of" by the interpreter. The "thought balloon" (similar to Steve's cloud) in contrast to a pile of rocks (objects) belongs to the Python inside.
